Whereas a large amount of research focuses on understanding organizational issues-such as IT strategy and innovation (Arvidsson, Holmström, & Lyytinen, 2014;Chatterjee, Moody, Lowry, Chakraborty, & Hardin, 2015;Chen, Mocker, Preston, & Teubner, 2010;Henfridsson & Lind, 2014), IT outsourcing and offshoring (Abbott, Zheng, Du, & Willcocks, 2013;Mani, Barua, & Whinston, 2010;Mathew & Chen, 2013;Thouin, Hoffman, & Ford, 2009), crowdsourcing (Majchrzak & Malhotra, 2013), IT structure (Silva & Hirschheim, 2007), IT alignment (Baker & Niederman, 2014;Luftman & Ben-Zvi, 2010), and IS portfolio management (Daniel, Ward, & Franken, 2014)-significant gaps remain in understanding how organization can effectively manage and leverage IT resources. Among these gaps is an understanding of how organizational context constructs, such as information systems culture or climate, can influence the effective management of the IT function Walsh, 2014), as well as other outcome variables that are dependent on IT resources.…”
